On the left is the sign that is on the building where we live.

Below is a picture of our drying rack. We have a small front load washer but no dryer. This is the

rack we dry our clothes on. It works quite well!

This picture is of a worker cleaning the leaves that have fallen and sweeping the sidewalks. They keep things quite clean along the streets. Notice the broom he is using. They just replace them when they wear out.

This is a picture of KLynn and one of the ladies that she likes to buy from at an indoor market near her home. This display is just one of the 10 or 12 places you can buy. As you can see in the back ground, there is another stack of watermelons. That is another seller just down the isle . It is amazing and wonderful produce from southern countries below Russia.

Well Family and friends-------This is my first real chance to post on our blog. I hope you can all see and enjoy some of the things we are enjoying on our mission. I will send an email to let you know that we actally got it done after several weeks here.

Love you all---Mom & Dad

Mission information

Hi everyone,

We have just spent two days at the Office of General Counsel being trained for our Mission to Moscow, Russia as Assistant Area Legal Counsel. We are busy getting everything ready. In the morning we are meeting in Kaysville with the James & Susan Tadje, the previous couple who served with Bob in the OGC. We will be speaking in church on the 28th and would invite anyone who wants to come and be with us that weekend.

Last week was such a wonderful time at Rebekah & Nate's wedding in San Diego. We will post some pictures taken in California sometime.

Love, Lary & Marianne

PS We are at Kira & Aaron's tonight! She shared this cute picture of Hazel. We hope to get pictures from you all while we are on our mission.

Christa's Wedding

November 21, 2009 Christa was married in the Boise, Idaho Temple to Jarom Jemmett of Parma Idaho. Jarom's Grandfarther was Dale Jemmett who used to live in Marsing and while I was on my mission in Norway, Dale was made the bishop of the Marsing ward.

We knew the Jemmett family as a good family who have been involved in farming all their lives. Dale was a farmer in Marsing and his sons both now live in Parma where Dale moved shortly after our family moved to Weiser.

This wedding was a great event as our first grandaughter set the example for many others to follow.
